title: Improving the quality of care for Medicaid patients with chronic diseases: Community Care of North Carolina.
abstract: Community Care of North Carolina's provider-driven approach to quality improvement has benefitted tens of thousands of North Carolinians with diabetes, asthma, hypertension, heart failure, and cardiovascular disease, and it has achieved better results than commercial Medicaid managed care nationally. Substantial opportunities remain, however, particularly for patients with complex care needs.
